For safety reasons, we recom-
mend that you follow the instructions
provided by the gas company when clo-
sing the supply tap when the hob is not
in use.
If the smell of gas is detected, the
hob's gas intake tap should be shut off
and the room should be ventilated. In
addition, the gas installation and the
hob should be checked by a speciali-
sed technician.
The automatic lighting device
should not be used for more than 15
seconds. If the burner does not light
during this time, stop attempting to
light it and open the door of the room
and/or wait for at least one minute befo-
re trying to light the burner again.
If the flame of the burner goes
out accidentally, close the correspon-
ding control knob of the burner and do
not try and light the burner again for at
least one minute.
The appliance is not designed to
be used by people (including children)
with reduced physical, mental or sen-
sory abilities. It should also not be used
by people that do not have experience
handling the appliance or who do not
have knowledge of the appliance,
unless they are supervised by a person
who is in charge of their safety.
Children should not be allowed
to play with the appliance.
Mechanism to protect
against inadvertently turning
the gas control knobs
The gas taps are equipped with a
mechanical systems that prevents the con-
trol knobs from turning freely from the off
position to the on position (and, therefore,
prevents gas from accidentally escaping
from the burners) if the control knob has
not previously been pressed down.
If at any time while using the hob
you notice that a control knob can be
turned from the off position without it
needing to be pressed down before-
hand (for example: because of dirt
which may have got into and accumula-
ted in the gas taps) you should, for your
own safety, quickly notify the technical
service so that the problem can be rec-
tified.
Component parts of an
automatic control and safety
system
On these hobs with the safety feature, the
gas cut-off device is made up of the follo-
wing elements:
* The safety tap
* The safety thermocouple, next to the bur-
ner.
* The thermocouple-control card connec-
tion.
* The control card-tap connection
The thermocouple sends an electric signal
to the control card, which identifies whether
or not the burner has a flame. Once the
control card has processed the data, it
sends another electric signal to the tap so
that it opens and allows gas to enter. If the
burner turns off, the absence of a flame will
be detected by the thermocouple, which,
since it is not sending a signal to the control
card, will re-light the burner (10 seconds). If
this does not work, the control card will
send a new signal to the tap to cut-off the
gas.
